Don’t Sabotage Your Nutritional Efforts With Unhealthy Tap Water or Unreliable Pitcher Filters
You’ve made the decision to live a healthy, active lifestyle. You’ve researched nutritional options and found the right diet for your needs. You’re already ahead of the pack when it comes to vitality and longevity.
However, many people who have invested their time and resources into a nutritious diet forget to consider the type of water they drink. According to PaleoLeap.com, tap water, regardless of your city’s efforts to keep you safe from bacteria, contains harmful toxins.
After putting so much time and effort into eliminating toxins from your food and your environment, you don’t want to just get all the same bad guys from a different source! Toxic chemicals in the water supply are unfortunately very common – a 2009 report on water quality across the US found that tap water contained 97 agricultural pollutants, 204 industrial chemicals, 86 chemicals connected with urban runoff, and 42 toxic chemicals added during the water treatment process. Some (like agricultural pollutants) are there by accident, but others (like chlorine) are actually added deliberately as purification agents. Disinfectant chemicals prevent bacteria from contaminating the drinking water supply, but unfortunately, they can’t differentiate between you and E. Coli. The concentration of chlorine in your tap water might not be strong enough to kill you the way it does bacteria, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful.
Common tap water disinfectants include chlorine, chlorine dioxide, chloramine, and ozone. None of these chemicals are good for you as it is, but to make matters even worse, they can also react with minerals and organic materials in the source water to form Disinfection By-Products, or DBPs. DBPs include several different types of chemicals, depending on which disinfecting agent was used in the original water. For example, chlorine (the most widely used disinfectant chemical) reacts with organic materials like decaying plants to form various different DPBs. Several of these unsavory characters are suspected carcinogens, and regulated as toxic, but not all of them are even identified, much less studied in any detail, regularly measured, or regulated at all.
And bottled water isn’t much healthier than tap water – not to mention very expensive.
Also, many pitcher filters with activated carbon only reduce chlorine for a limited time at which point they can actually put more harmful contaminants into your water than was in the water to begin with! You have to be extremely diligent about changing these filters and even then, they don’t reduce contaminants like fluoride, lead, arsenic, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
The best, most cost-effective way to regulate the quality of water you put in your body is through a process called reverse osmosis. At Culligan of Brazosport, we offer 5 and 6 stage drinking water systems that remove up to 99.9% of contaminants while also giving you the option to add back in minerals like calcium and magnesium if you so desire.

Real Texas Reviews:
I just wanted to send a quick note regarding Fred, the delivery man for our water. He is a pleasure to work with and is always very positive and helpful. You are very lucky to have such a great employee representing your company.
Culligan recently set up a system for us. Bryan was so wonderful! He came in the pouring rain and set up our system. Even on such a gloomy day, he was delightful. He explained everything very well. Bryan even came back on another instance to help us resolve an issue.

Dear Culligan, I just wanted to take a minute to tell you Thank you!
We had the pleasure of receiving a service call from an employee named Mike Clayborn. We couldn't have ordered greater service if we tried! Mike's vast, yet thorough knowledge, coupled with great friendly service was a welcome resolution to our water problems.

We had the pleasure of receiving a service call from an employee named Mike Clayborn. We couldn't have ordered greater service if we tried! Mike's vast, yet thorough knowledge, coupled with great friendly service was a welcome resolution to our water problems. He was able to quickly, yet efficiently, resolve our water problem. Not only that, he was able to explain the problem that occurred and the options available to us in such a way that were easily understood. NOT an easy task to do for a 51 yo homeowner with zero experience or knowledge of water wells or water softeners!
Individuals such as Mike who care greatly about their customer, who maintain a generous and impeccable work ethic, and who are willing to share that knowledge with the customer to effect a stable long-term outcome are an invaluable resource for the reputation and success of a company such as Culligan. At any rate, we're grateful for having had the opportunity to benefit from Culligan and its services from an employee such as Mike. We look forward at every opportunity to pass along a glowing referral of Culligan and its services.
Sincerely,
Steve and Stacey Webster
